Quick & Easy Chicken Breasts
- 2 large chicken breast halves (skinless, boneless)
- flour
- salt
- pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, about
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, about
- whte wine (I use Pinot Grigio)
- 1 medium zucchini
- 6 -10 fresh mushrooms (I use white button for mild taste)
- 2 plum tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon capers, about
- 2 garlic cloves (finely minced or grated)
- 12 lemon, juice of
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Butterfly chicken breast then separate so you have 4 individual breasts lightly pounded.
- Lightly flour breasts then shake off any excess flour.
- Generously salt and pepper breasts on both sides.
- Heat olive oil and butter in large cast iron skillet over med/high heat.
- When oil/butter combo is ready, very carefully place chicken breasts in pan.
- Saute about 5-6 minutes on 1st side then flip over and cook 2nd side another 4 minutes (if breasts are too thick they may need longer cooking time).
- Add a couple of splashes of white wine during last 2 minutes of cooking.
- When done, remove breasts to separate plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- While breasts are cooking , quickly dice up your veggies (cut zucchini in half lengthwise then each half in half again then slice into bite-size pieces, thinly slice mushrooms, cut tomatoes into same size as zucchini).
- Reduce heat under pan to medium then add veggies and tomatoes along with capers, lemon juice & garlic (if needed add more butter).
- saute mixture until zucchini is cooked but still has has bite to it--do not overcook the veggies (10 minutes max).
- just before serving, add 2 tablespoons milk to sauce to make a more gravy-like texture.
- Plate rice with chicken breast then cover with veggie sauce.
- Enjoy.
